What is Combustion?
The chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat is called combustion.
Examples are ethane, wood, propane.
There are three types of Combustion:
1. Rapid combustion
Rapid combustion is a form of combustion where large amounts of heat and light energy are released rapidly.
2. Spontaneous combustion
Spontaneous combustion is a type of combustion that occurs by self-heating (raise in temperature during exothermic reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self-heating accelerating temperature) and resulting in the ignition.
3. Explosions
An explosion is a sudden increase in volume and temperature resulting in the release of energy and gases. For example Explosion due to bomb blast and underwater nuclear test.
